We are celebrating 150 years of East Park from October 2023 – October 2024!
School
A high proportion of the pupils are on the autistic spectrum and require specialist environments and strategies in order to access a rich and purposeful curriculum. East Park provides comprehensive learning environments and opportunities for this group of pupils through:
- Personal support plans
- Individual and group teaching and learning
- Elaborated curriculum based on the Curriculum for Excellence
- Outdoor learning activities
- Links with colleges and other schools
- Specialised resources and equipment
- Use of community facilities and amenities
Many are non-verbal communicators, a significant number require personal care, the majority have no sense of danger, and all require a high staff ratio to enable them to successfully access the full curriculum and the community.
